What factors limited Jewish immigration to the US?

The primary limiting factor for Jews to immigrate to the United States was simply the will and cost of immigrating. After that, the next largest impediment was the quotas set up by the US in the 1920s to bar Eastern and Central European immigration (which also included Jews among Germans, Poles, Ukrainians, Czechs, and Slovaks).

When did jews stop being killed in World War 2?

If I know my history (and I hope I do know some), I don't believe America ever "stopped" allowing Jews to enter America, but they did have quotas that filled up quickly. But I've never heard that America made the decision to forbid Jewish immigration.___Agreed. The quotas were based entirely on country of birth, and so the quota for people born in Germany filled up very quickly. It was not a 'Jewish quota'.


Why did the US refuse political asylum to the Jewish people aboard the MS St Louis?

The US authorities at the time were concerned about potential economic strain and political backlash from accepting a large number of refugees. There were also xenophobic and antisemitic sentiments prevalent in some sectors of American society. Ultimately, the US government chose not to grant asylum, and the ship was forced to return to Europe, where many of the passengers ended up in countries eventually occupied by Nazi Germany.

How was immigration restricted in the 1920?

During the 1920s, multiple laws were passed that did restrict immigration to the United States. Probably the most important of these laws was the Immigration Act of 1924 (Johnson-Reed Act). This act gave an immigration quota to each country. This quota was based on 2% of immigrants living in the US from any one country at the 1890 census. For instance, if there were 1 million immigrants from one country living in the United States in 1890, then after the Immigration Act, only 20,000 people from that country could come per year. This was down from the 3% that the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 set up. The Immigration Act was set up primarily to cap the growing number of Southern and Eastern European immigrants, as well as Asian immigrants. Contrary to what some may believe, Asians were never completely restricted from immigrating to the US, just from naturalized citizenship. (Information from Wikipedia)
